[[BIONICLE]] is a multimedia product theme sold by [[LEGO]], one of the world's largest toy manufacturers. BIONICLEsector01 (BS01) primarily documents the fictional universe created to support the theme, as well as the products themselves. In order to comprehensively detail the transmedia '''Franchise''' surrounding BIONICLE, BS01 also has pages for other other aspects of the line, such real-life contributors, and fan communities that discuss the lore.

==[[LEGO]]==
'''[[LEGO]]''' is the toy manufacturer that produced the BIONICLE theme, which was one of their most successful products. While BIONICLE was an original concept, LEGO also produces a number of building-block-based toys for other intellectual property as well, such as [[wikipedia:Disney|Disney]] and [[wikipedia:DC Comics|DC Comics]].

One of LEGO's product lines is [[TECHNIC]], which uses mechanically styled liftarms and axles in place of their traditional building blocks. BIONICLE (and its predecessors [[Slizer|Slizer/Throwbots]] and [[Roboriders]]) originally debuted under the TECHNIC brand, before becoming a standalone theme.

For a list of real people (such as set designers and authors) who have contributed to the franchise, see: [[Professional Contributors to BIONICLE]].

BS01 also has a page for [[Hero Factory]], the theme marketed as a spiritual successor to BIONICLE. In addition, the wiki has a sub-site, [[herosector:Main Page|HEROsector01]] (HS01), a wiki dedicated to recording the story and products of Hero Factory in the same way BS01 does for BIONICLE.

The [[Kanohi]] [[Hau]] appears in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvYyy8VIWmE LEGO Racers 4D theater movie].

During 2010, the Kanohi [[Olmak]] appeared in an online game promoting the LEGO Atlantis theme as one of the pieces of undersea treasure the player could discover.

In 2011, a Guurahk appeared in a LEGO Club stop-motion music video titled ''Black Eye Piece''.{{WebsiteCitation|originalurl=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mElhz0SKg2Y|pagetitle=Black Eye Piece Music Video|websitetitle=YouTube}}

In ''[[wikipedia:The Lego Movie|The Lego Movie]]'', released in 2014, BIONICLE briefly appeared as one of the many realms.

During 2015 and 2016, Generation 2 BIONICLE products appeared in stop motion skit videos uploaded to the LEGO YouTube channel. These were ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEfjOya55_s Hit the Slopes - LEGO Technic vs. Bionicle - Stop Motion]'' and ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBE7R7DXHnk Pirates vs. Tahu - LEGO - The Misadventures of Brickbeard #4]''.

In ''[[wikipedia:The Lego Batman Movie|The Lego Batman  Movie]]'', released in 2017, a movie theatre marquee depicts a film titled "The BIONICLE Man" (a reference to the movie [[wikipedia:The Six Million Dollar Man|The Six Million Dollar Man]]). The LEGO NINJAGO Movie set ''[https://brickset.com/sets/70620-1/NINJAGO-City 70620 NINJAGO City]'' contained several stickers referencing BIONICLE: One resembling the [[Bara Magna]] symbol, one resembling half of the [[Three Virtues]] symbol, one containing {{G|2|Society|Okotan}} letters, one containing a symbol resembling [[Gali]]'s [[Nuva Symbol]], and a pair of stickers featuring symbols from the [[Great Telescope]] as depicted in the [[Mata Nui Online Game]].

Additionally, Takanuva was at one point considered for appearing in ''[[wikipedia:The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part|The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part]]'', appearing in storyboards, concept art, and prototype sets. However, he was ultimately not part of the finalized movie or sets. The LEGO Movie 2 set ''[https://brickset.com/sets/70840-1/Welcome-to-Apocalypseburg! 70840 Welcome to Apocalypseburg!]'' contains hidden bricks built into the shape of the Three Virtues symbol on the interior of the Statue of Liberty's torch.{{WebsiteCitation|originalurl=https://twitter.com/justinramsden/status/1180956463969079296|websitetitle=Twitter|pagetitle=Justin Ramsden on Twitter|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20191006213148/https://twitter.com/justinramsden/status/1180956463969079296}}

According to [[Professional Contributors to BIONICLE#George Gilliatt|George Gilliatt]], in the original brief for 2022 LEGO Classic set ''[https://brickset.com/sets/30510-1/90-Years-of-Cars 30510 90 Years of Cars]'', the set was to include a brick-built model in homage to {{SetLink|8596}}, among two other sets from different themes, serving as an expansion to set 11021.

==[[:Category:Meta]]==
BS01 has a dedicated category for pages that exist outside of the direct products of BIONICLE. These can be found in '''[[:Category:Meta]]'''. One notable page is [[Meta:Fan Community]], compiling a list of notable fan pages and communities that have been influenced by (and in turn, been able to influence) the BIONICLE line. Meta pages also exist for important BIONICLE characters and concepts, such as [[Meta:Tahu]], which contain behind-the-scenes details and other information that does not directly pertain to the story itself.
